Spirited Away is a fantasy anime which was written and directed by Hayao Mizaki, produced by Studio Ghibli on 2001.
This movie was very popular until now, most people have watched this movie. Also, it was voted 8.6/10 on MAL site.
The Story is about the 10-year old Chihiro was moving out with her parents, they went into an abandoned amusement park and her parents ate a lot there and they turned into a pig. After her parents were turned into a pig, Chihiro met a guy named Haku, he told her that it was the world of spirits, he helped her to get through without being noticed. Chihiro had to get a job so she won't be turned into 'something' by Yubaba, the owner of the bathing spirit place. With her courage, she managed to get a job there. She visited her parents several times with Haku. The spirits thought that Chihiro was only a burden that she deserves to be turned into a pig or other animal by Yubaba.
But, Chihiro proved that she's hardworking. Even when there is the disgusting spirit that she had to handle, she managed to handle it, once, she made a mistake, she let the "no face" spirit came into the bathing house because she thought it was a customer. The "no face" spirit began to give out gold, but anyone who took it were eaten by it. Everybody in the bathing house were scared. It was looking for Chihiro, they were panicked, but Chihiro was very relaxed unlike the others. She gave it a pill and it vomitted everything it swallowed. It also began to follow Chihiro anywhere.
Haku had another form, which is a dragon. He was once injured when he's being a dragon. He stole Zeniba (Yubaba's Twin) golden seal. Chihiro felt bad because Haku got injured so she decided to go to Zeniba's place to apologize what Haku had done.
Zeniba said that one of the seal was broken already, Chihiro didn't know about that, Zeniba said that the seal can only be broken by love.
In the end, Chihiro remembered Haku's real name when he was still human, it was Kohaku River.
In my opinion, On the inside, it reveals several fascinating symbols:
1. The Train Sequence is a mesmerizing contemplation on life, death and what lies beyond. Even though its purpose in the plot might be different, its visual setting of isolation and loneliness (and the music that seems to be weeping in the background) transform it into something that is much more than its face value.
3. That good and evil often look incredibly similar
4. That your personality, your identity, your handwriting even, these are little bits ofyou...And once they're in the hands of someone else who can shape and play with them, they rob you of your very freedom:
Sorry if my style of reviewing if different from a year ago, but thanks for viewing!
